Golf putting trainer

Abstract

The trolley (11) includes hinge plates (26, 28, 30) connected together by hinge pins (27, 29, 31) which allow a rocking action and a lifting action by the hinge plates (26, 28, 30), which in turn allow the club (34) to move in an arc (35) to stroke the ball in a straight line to a target.
